[Q] Remapping volume keys

Hello, i have a question about one modification... i would like to have volume controls rempaped to following:
Volume up (short press): Volume up
Volume down (short press): Volume down
Volume up (long press): Next song in playlist (HTC Sense player)
Volume down (long press): Previous song in playlist (HTC Sense player)
I imagine there are some applications out there that can handle the short-press and long-press mapping, but the mapping to HTC Sense player might be really really tricky. Pressing up key (on joystick) jumps to next song, pressing down to previous song, but it works only when media player tab is selected... any other tab uses joystick for other purposes. any suggestions for realization are welcome
I would also appreciate mapping shallow press and release of camera button to play/pause, while shallow press followed by deep press would result in launch of camera (as was intended by sony) but that's not too important as i can simply mute the radio player.
The thing is i use this phone as a MP3 player for my car radio, it is far more intuitive to use hardware buttons instead of touchscreen, not to mention safety... I'm used to this keymapping from good old K750i, unfortunately for xperia, other OS, other habbit.

music remote control app?

I use my I pod for music mainly cause of the physical buttons that allow me to track skip whilst the device is in my pocket tho am interested to see if this would be possible with the note by using the remote control, like is there an app that would make the music player recognise a double click on the volume remote in the included headphones as a skip, or is there a non blue tooth remote available that would do this, I haven't found any

Poweramp does that. You can configure in the settings how the app responds to the headset buttons, e.g. double press or tripple press to skip to the next track.

[Q] How to change the music lockscreen button function?

I have my s5 mini for just a month and when I started using it, I was really pleased with the lock screen when playing music. There was a play/pause button and forward and back button. With the forward and back button I could swap between songs. But about 2 weeks ago the function changed and the forward and back buttons are now used to change the volume. This is really disappointing because I can simply change the volume with the hardware volume buttons on my phone, and if I want to go to the next or previous song, instead of just simply doing so from the lock screen I have to unlock my phone and do it there. Is there a way to tweak the settings of music lock screen? I have gone through all the settings and I don't seem to find anything. Please help!

I don't know how to return them back, just to say that I have the last firmware and the buttons are still present and work, so it will probably be related to some setting you made.
Did you make any changes to the music player or something like that?
(btw did you know that by double clicking the play/pause button on headphones you can skip the song also)

Well, I use Rocket Player. It's definitely the best music player I know. And yeah, I know about headphones (with Rocket player I can even go to previous song by clicking two times and go forward by clicking three times) but still I would love to have this function on the lock screen too. I have changed the settings of Rocket Player to fit my personal preferences. But I have never changed the lock screen buttons settings. All I have found there in the settings of Rocket Player is the look of Lockscreen and I have tried all of them, nothing changes the function.

Toggle pause with bluetooth media button

Hello,
I've got a shiny new media bluetooth button for the car, and of course the first thing I want to do is make it go through tasker so I can get lots of lovely functionality. I've got single press, double press, and long press for the Next and Previous buttons working fine, but I'm having trouble with the Play button. I still want it to toggle the pause, but when I do that (using Media Control: Toggle Pause, Simulate Media Button On), the music player (GMMP in this case) grabs the media control focus, and all the buttons revert to the music player, instead of my wonderful tasker stuff. I've tried setting an exit task with Media Button Events Grab but that doesn't work. I'm not sure if it's possible short of sending an intent - I found a togglepause intent, but I'm not sure how to write it (found from https://stackoverflow.com/questions...of-another-music-player-from-my-code#17286986 ) for tasker, or even if that's the best way of doing it.
Any help appreciated!

If found the intent for GMMP to play/pause, and it works, but the minute it's done, the media controls revert back to GMMP (even though they are set to not to be used).
I tried PowerAmp too (because I found an intent for it), and it will work the first time, but after that the media controls stop responding at all (previous/next/play).
I've even added a new Media Button Events: Grab right after the intent is sent, but it doesn't seem to do it.

Is It possible to customize the figerprint navigation setting?

Hi,
I have a short question - is it possible to customize fingerprint scanner gestures in the P10? Is there a mod or something to do that? I can't stand current selection, single tap should always be 'home'. My perfect set of gestures would look like this:
single tap - 'home'
swipe left - 'back'
swipe right (or up) - 'multitasking/recent apps'
swipe down - pull down the shortcut panel
tap and hold for 0,5 sec - screen off
double tap - toggle between recently used apps (P8 had this! Even bare bones Android has such function)

Funny, I've got the phone on order, and your suggested gestures are exactly what I'm after; seems logical...

Hopefully someone does find a way. It's stupid how it's been set up currently

Check out the double tap mods that have been made in the past on other phones, might be possible to check what was edited or added.

You'll get used to the default settings anyway. I tend to use the back button far often than Home so for me it makes more sense that a short tap works as Back. But yes, EMUI does not provide a comprehensive set of customizations.
